Lantau Restaurants

Where to Eat in Lantau

Lantau Island might not be able to compete with mega-metropolis Hong Kong when it comes to food but there are still quite a few good dining venues to fit most people’s budget there.

From the cheap eats at the many Dan Pai Dongs (cheap restaurants) to the more high-end restaurants mostly located at Discovery Bay, east of the island, there's a good range to choose from, and all at friendlier prices. Visitors can enjoy countless types of cuisine, from Cantonese to other regional Chinese dishes to Italian, Turkish, Mediterranean, South African and English on Lantau Island.

Bahce

Bahce is a Turkish restaurant offering delicious dishes including kebabs and mezes as well as fresh yoghurt used to accompany many Turkish main dishes. They have live music every Friday night (so far they are the only venue providing such entertainment on Lantau). Drop in to see when in the area. Most prices are affordable with some on the expensive side.

China Bear
